Meeting an Australian with a natural born talent for drinking and cheating at Yahtzee, we 1st traveled to Brownsberg Nature Reserve. This place held a collection of pretty much eventless, bland, calorie whacking trails while sleeping in an open shelter where we were able to hang our hammocks.
Even though the trails did not hold much excitement during
the day, in the wee hours of the night, the assortment of insects, reptiles, spiders, poisonous snake and
amphibians loitering around made the nature reserve one the
most interesting free roaming collection of living creatures I have seen in South
America. The moths were spectacular,
looking as if God ingested a batch of hallucinogens and forgot about his original
guidelines on how these insects were going to appear - showing what you can do
with lots of power and a chemically altered imagination. Messing up so badly with some of these life
forms and not wanting to erase what he has done, he decided to hide them in the
Amazon with the hope that nobody in their right mind would see them…
During my 4 day stay on the reserve, I was a
successful paparazzi of insects, capturing over 725 moments including video
footage of a murderous lizard stalking my leafy looking muti-legged subject
before executing him. Life as a human
can be miserable at times but life as an insect is possibly one of the top 10
miserable lives on the planet.
